NYAKALLO TEFU
FORMER African National Congress (ANC) Nelson Mandela Bay councillor Andile Lungisa has been granted R10,000 bail in the High Court in Makhanda.
The former councillor was found guilty of assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm after he assaulted a DA councillor during a scuffle in the council in 2016.
Lungisa assaulted fellow councillor Rano Kayser by smashing a glass jar over his head.
It was reported that Lungisa has been granted R10,000 bail with one of the conditions being that he should hand over his travel documents.
Lungisa had applied for bail pending the outcome of his Constitutional Court application for leave to appeal his two-year sentence.
